<br />2-1 <br /> <br />2.0 Parking Analysis <br />2.1 Parking Analysis <br />As a starting point, the Municipal Parking Code for the City of Santa Ana has been <br />utilized to establish a base parking rate for all of the proposed uses. A copy of the City <br />of Santa Ana Municipal Parking Code is contained in Appendix A. <br />Utilizing the City of Santa Ana Municipal Parking Code to determine the required <br />parking spaces for each individual use, the proposed project would need to provide <br />a total of 194 parking spaces. <br />As previously noted, the proposed project is planned to provide a total of 128 <br />parking spaces. As a result, based on the City of Santa Ana Municipal Parking Code, <br />without accounting for any shared parking on the site and the accumulation of total <br />parking demand resulting from the interaction between the uses, the project would <br />be deficient by 66 parking spaces. A summary of the required parking per the City’s <br />Parking Requirements is included in Table 1. <br />The project land uses are compatible with one another and lend themselves to the <br />use of shared parking because the uses are complimentary (i.e., hotel, restaurant <br />and lounge/bar), and visitors could often go there for more than one (1) purpose <br />while only parking once. For example, visitors staying in the hotel could also visit <br />the restaurant, and lounge/bar, therefore reducing the typical parking demand <br />required for the individual uses. The multi-use nature of the land uses within hotels <br />allow for a reduction in overall parking generation. <br />For sites which contain a number of land uses, such as the proposed project, the <br />Municipal Parking Code allows for use of shared parking methodology to account <br />for the total parking accumulation on the site based on the interaction between the <br />uses to determine overall parking demand for the site. Hence, a ULI Shared Parking <br />Analysis has been prepared to determine the shared parking demand dynamics of <br />the proposed project and the resulting overall required parking demand for the site. <br />The ULI Shared Parking Methodology is applicable to this site due to the fact that <br />individual land uses are peaking at different times of the day and year. <br />5-42
